Which drives you more crazy?

Same thing basically

In the NBA we lose or win sides & totals much of the time at the end of games by late free throws and/or meaningless baskets.

In the NFL we have teams covering or backdoor covering at the end of games as well it seems on just as many games percentage-wise.

I bet 75% of NFL games are within a score either way of the spread in the 4th quarter.

I think basketball beats are worse because they happen so quickly.

Football beats generally takes some time to develop, and while it is slow torture, you have time to prepare yourself for the inevitable.

Bad basketball beats are definitely the worst. Nothing like some idiot running the clock out, and then steps back behind the 3 point line and takes a last second shot. And it goes in! That kind of stuff happens far too often in the NBA.

Nowadays I focus more on sharp bets instead of sweating the outcome of a game, because I know sooner or later those bad beats will even out with the good ones.

NBA for sure, I'm convinced if you bet this sport long term and watch the games consistently it will shorten your lifespan by 10-15 years.

Kinda off topic but NCAA for me, crazy the amount of points that can be scored in the last 2 mins of some games. Teams shooting 15+ free throws in 1.5 mins. Jeesh.

Anyone who says NFL doesn't bet NBA, lol.

Reason #3953280980538035 why I love the playoffs since most of my bets can be futures/series stuff.

NBA.

This is precisely why I stopped betting NBA... A bunch of 6'9" fools with an IQ of 50 trying to kill me.

I am in favor of the demolition of the NBA. That league is beyond repair.
